It's not just cropped different, but also a completely different picture. The position of the catcher is different - head cocked opposite way, angle of arm/elbow bend different, etc. But it's the same background.

I wonder if it is one of the unused proofs. I'm sure they took several/many of each person or position and picked the best one. Think you got one of those not chosen?

But then why the ad back? Maybe there were full cards for the customer to choose from - even different size border, etc. They would probably want to present that with ad back for full effect to customer. Then after choice they go back and process the production cards with borders, chosen pictures, etc.

Maybe the number was just for the customer to use to identify/record his choice? Who knows - then for SubRosa they just left it on there.

I'm way out there free-braining at this point, obviously. But it is flat out a differnt picture.
